High‐pressure technology finds its major application in the field of organic synthesis,
especially for cycloaddition reactions. The aim of this article is to review all examples of high …

We report a concise, enantioselective total synthesis of (−)-taiwaniaquinone H and the first
enantioselective total synthesis of (−)-taiwaniaquinol B by a route that includes asymmetric …

By carefully screening the organoselenium pre‐catalysts and optimizing the reaction
conditions, simple dibenzyl diselenide was found to be the best pre‐catalyst for Baeyer …

The first total synthesis of the abietaquinone methide diterpenoid (−)-3-oxoisotaxodione is
reported. The key enabling step is the use of a chiral bicyclic hydrazide as an organocatalyst …

Catalyzed by organoselenium compounds, β-ionone was easily oxidized by H2O2 under
mild and clean conditions. We were very surprised to find that the reaction selectivity was …

A new polyene cyclization strategy exploiting β-ionyl derivatives was developed.
Photoinduced deconjugation of the extended π-system within these chromophores unveils a …

Five known abietane diterpenes, fatty acid esters of 7α-acyloxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone (1),
grandidone A (2), 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone (3), 6β, 7α-dihydroxyroyleanone (4) …

The ultrasound-promoted Diels-Alder reaction of 3-methyl-4, 5-benzofurandione with
appropriately substituted vinylcyclohexenes has led to the synthesis of tanshinone IIA …

Two procedures to introduce an oxygenated function into the C-14 of abietane diterpenes
with complete regioselectivity have been developed. Utilizing these, the synthesis of the …
